    Poem Of The Week 2

    Competition

    Introduction

    Welcome to the Poem Of The Week 2. Hosted by myself and Astinus. The previous contest was held and hosted by Come Clarity and the crew. Now let me explain what this competition is all about. This competition is for those who wish to enter their poems which comply with the corrosponding theme, so that they can have some recognition for their amazing talent! , Remember that the Moderator of this section will be supervising. However I will be looking for some help in judging in the near future. If you are interested in helping, Pm me and state why you would like to judge and we can work something out. If you win Poem Of The Week, you will win an emblem (see below) and will be given right away if you win the week's competition.
    ​

    Poem of the Week is a great to test your skills in the poetry world. You'll also get to see what other people think of how you express your emotions using words.​

    Remember to follow all Other Writing and PokeCommunity rules as posted below.

    Rules and Guidelines


    • Remember to keep within the Writing rules, the Poem of the Week rules and of course the PC forum wide rules. Also make sure that you post your poem within the timeline which is posted within the "This Week's Details" box.

    • First and foremost, NEVER plagiarize work. I will know; I check all poems, even for lyrics. I understand there may be coincidences where your poetry looks like someone else's and that's fine, but make sure it's all your own work.

    • You may only post 1 poem relevant to the given theme of the week. If the theme is "anything" just feel free to post any type of poem, with any theme.

    • Please only post good feedback on other entries within this thread. By feedback I mean good comments on why you like them rather than full criticism. But it's always nice to post in the thread of the original poem too (if there is one).

    • When submitting a poem either post a link to the thread that hosts the poem (must be on PC) or post the poem within the thread, and I will put it up on the first post with the others.

    • This is a judging contest, there will be no votes. HOWEVER you may Pm me if you would like to express your love for a particular poem and I will take it into consideration.

    • You may post to state that you will be posting a poem and entering. Asking questions and the likes is also fine, all discussion may go within the thread.

    • If you are posting a poem please keep it nicely layed out with as little formatting as possible. It's better we don't have big bright text and numerous BB codes. It just makes it a little easier on the eyes, thank you.
    So please participate, have fun, don't be shy and always remember your poetry is expression of emotions and experiences, and of course a good effort as well as talent so no matter what you write it will have a chance! I like to judge on emotion and good attempts as well as quality and content, so even if it is your first poem it most certainly stands a fighting chance!


    I would also like to state that, if you win POTW, you are given the option to co-host the next competition as well as choose the new theme.

    Winner

    Congratulations to Missingno. 7-4468 for his piece Graciousness of Heart
    To be in love is a wonderful thing,
    With happiness and joy, kindness and giving,
    Only ending with the world, past that still
    Going on and on, only by will.

    To be in love makes you sing a song,
    A song of joy to be with whom you belong,
    Through this life and past that too
    With a single person, love will brew.

    Through the darkest storms and brightest days,
    Love is the meaning behind everyone's ways.
    Through love only can a life be finished,
    Nothing can interfere, be it fate or wish.

    Through the years and many more,
    Love gets only stronger, each other you adore.
    To always be with someone; the meaning thereof
    The joys and hopes of something called love     .

    The next theme will be announced later on. Congratulations to all of you and thank you. :]
     
    Ohhhhhh.. missed out. Is there like a PM List for this or something? Like you get a PM when a new round comes out or something? I'll enter the next one if it has a good topic. Try and throw together some lame poem.

    I have originally posted this piece of poetry in the forums. I felt very eager when I heard that the theme for this week is Nature.
    I hope this qualifies.
    Enjoy.
